56: Chapter 56 Zhen Yuanzi blocks the gate, Shi Yan speaks of destiny and humanity.

Meanwhile, outside Zixiao Palace.

Zhenyuanzi, with the book of life and death hovering above his head, earnestly advised, "Dao Ancestor, since you have already merged with the Dao, why must you intervene in the affairs of the Primordial World?"

Hongjun's expression turned ugly, and the jade plate of creation above his head spun wildly, "Saint of Reincarnation, are you certain you want to stop me?"

"I am entrusted by another."

Zhenyuanzi pointed to the book of life and death above his head and solemnly informed him, "Dao Ancestor, today, the two of us simply need to watch the show obediently; there is no need to interfere in the affairs of the Primordial World."

Looking at the book of humanity above Zhenyuanzi, Hongjun's mouth twitched.

Why was this Zhenyuanzi so wicked?

Before reaching the Hunyuan Realm, the Earth Book Array connected to the Primordial World's ley lines, and no one dared to break it.

Now that he had reached the Hunyuan Realm, with the book of life and death protecting his head, which governed the stability of the Earthly Dao, it was even more formidable than the Earth Book Array.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea,

Hongjun could take it no longer; his aura surged, and the cultivation of a fifth-level Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal enveloped Zhenyuanzi.

But there was only pressure, without a shred of offensive power.

Seeing this, Zhenyuanzi lowered his eyes and chuckled, his tone calm but every word certain:

"Dao Ancestor, feel free to apply pressure."

"Since I, Zhenyuanzi, dare to stop you, I have determined that you dare not break it, nor can you break it."

Hongjun's face sank, and the jade plate of creation spun even more frantically. The pressure of the fifth-level Hunyuan Realm was like a flooding ocean, almost collapsing the Chaos Qi surrounding Zixiao Palace.

Yet the book of life and death remained suspended above Zhenyuanzi's head, with the Qi of the Earthly Dao descending to resist Hongjun's pressure.

Zhenyuanzi raised his eyes and looked calmly at Hongjun:

"The book of life and death governs the Six Paths of Reincarnation and is a dual supreme treasure of the Human Dao and the Earthly Dao."

"If you, Dao Ancestor, forcefully break my defense of the book of humanity, you would be destroying the Reincarnation of the Primordial World."

"By then, the Foundation of Reincarnation will be shaken, and the Reincarnation of all spirits will be in Chaos. Can your body, merged with the Dao, bear such Karma?"

As these words fell, the surging aura around Hongjun suddenly stalled!

How could he not know!

But...

Hongjun cast his gaze toward Mount Tai, looking at Shi Yan, who had seized the kongtong seal...

A variable! He should be executed!

But looking at Zhenyuanzi before him and the book of life and death above, he finally sighed helplessly.

"This time, this old Daoist has lost."

Returning to Zixiao Palace.

Seeing Hongjun return to Zixiao Palace, Zhenyuanzi continued to stay outside the gate to block it.

At this moment, at the peak of Mount Tai.

Shi Yan and The Six Sages were still in a standoff.

"I am Shi Yan, with the cultivation of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. Is there a problem with me calling you pseudo-saints?"

"You...!" The Six Sages wanted to argue, but feeling the three corpses within their bodies, they could only sigh helplessly in the end.

Seeing The Six Sages lower their heads, with even the face-conscious Yuanshi no longer refuting him, Shi Yan turned to look at Nuwa.

"I don't know... perhaps Luck does not like you, so it flowed to me."

Shi Yan's tone was flat, as if he were merely speaking of a trivial matter.

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's pretty face instantly flushed red. Pointing a jade finger at Shi Yan, she spoke angrily:

"Quickly return my Luck to me!"

"That is the Luck I deserve as the Holy Mother of the Human Race. How can you, as a member of the Human Race, strip it away..."

"Stop!" However, before she could finish, Shi Yan interrupted her,

"The Luck has all flowed to me; you still want me to return it to you?"

"If you want Luck, do more for the Human Race. With your identity as the Holy Mother of the Human Race, it is still easy to earn Human Race Luck."

Although the Human Race Luck she occupied was gone, Nuwa's identity as the Holy Mother of the Human Race also existed in name only.

The Luck she would enjoy in the future could only depend on the worship of the Human Race.

Shi Yan's words made Nuwa feel both ashamed and angry, but feeling the loss of Luck, she gripped the red hydrangea ball in her hand even tighter, staring fixedly at the Shi Yan before her.

Shi Yan then turned his gaze toward the other five saints, holding the kongtong seal, as the mysterious yellow light of the Human Dao illuminated Mount Tai.

"Listen, Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao."

"The kongtong seal is a supreme treasure of the Human Dao and should be held by the race that is the Common Sovereign of Heaven and Earth."

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors should be chosen by us ourselves. Fuxi's position as the Heavenly Sovereign is recognized by the Heavenly Dao, but our Human Race does not recognize it."

"As for the subsequent teachers of the Two Sovereigns and Five Emperors, our Human Race does not recognize them either. If you want to earn Karma, fine! Bring something to trade. Don't even think about getting something for nothing!"

As his words fell, the mysterious yellow light of the kongtong seal surged hundreds of thousands of feet, directly dispersing the Heavenly Dao Karma on the peak of Mount Tai. The power of the Human Dao rose, faintly contending with the Heavenly Dao!

The Two Sovereigns and Five Emperors? The Earthly Sovereign?! My disciple!!

Thinking of Xuandu, who had gone to the Jiang Clan Tribe, Laozi instantly frowned. The taiji diagram rotated slightly in front of him, and he asked urgently:

"What have you done to Xuandu?"

A Hunyuan expert capable of interfering with Luck might be able to block the connection of Luck between him and Xuandu!

Shi Yan replied indifferently:

"It is just a Seal. As an ancestor of the Human Race, the Human Race will naturally not harm him."

"As long as he is fine." Hearing that Xuandu was only sealed, Taiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

He only had this one precious disciple, and there could be no losses.

Taiqing breathed a sigh of relief, but the other four saints were not so fortunate.

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression was cold and blue, and the pangu banner vibrated slightly. He questioned:

"Fellow Daoist, this is going too far!"

Regardless, a Heavenly Dao Saint still has the power to fight a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal in the Primordial World.

To fight The Six Sages alone is too arrogant!

Zhunti also immediately stepped forward, his expression urgent,

"No, I do not agree!"

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were agreed upon before the Dao Ancestor. Even if you are a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, you cannot seize all the positions of Imperial Teacher!"

Jieyin drove the 12th-grade merit golden lotus to come to Zhunti's side, helping to build momentum for Zhunti.

The Sword Qi around Tongtian was sharp, ready to fight Shi Yan at any moment.

Shi Yan's gaze swept across The Six Sages, and he slowly said:

"Do you know why Hongjun has not yet come to deal with me, this variable?"

"Do not forget that Zhenyuanzi and I are sworn brothers!"

As his words fell, a Hunyuan pressure originating from the direction of Zixiao Palace quietly permeated and arrived.

Feeling this familiar Hunyuan Dao rhyme, The Six Sages were shocked. Zhenyuanzi!?

Looking at the expressions of The Six Sages, Shi Yan nodded with satisfaction,

"My big brother blocks Hongjun, and I suppress you. From now on, the Human Race will not be controlled by the Heavenly Dao."

"The position of Imperial Teacher is an equivalent exchange."

"If you agree, bring out Spirit Treasure, Cultivation Technique, and resources to talk, and in the future, we will have mutual benefits with the Human Race."

"If you do not agree... then just watch honestly."

Shi Yan's gaze became sharp, and his pressure was like mountains and seas overturning:

"If you don't pay, yet still want to covet Karma and Luck..."

"Then let's try and see if this Hunyuan of mine can overturn your dojos and destroy your doctrines!"

As he spoke, the chaos bell also rang a few times, causing the space around Mount Tai to ripple.

The expressions of The Six Sages became even uglier.
